Musk unhappy with Cybertruck’s poor quality, calls for Lego-like precision

No revelations here, just continued Cybertruck woes.

wait now he cares about quality? after the shitshow of poor build quality tesla?
or is this even worse than current tesla quality?
- or is this even worse than current tesla quality?
  I think it's this one.
  
  Or that he thought a shit design that would require order-of magnitude more precise manufacturing than his current capabilities would be a good idea.
And guess who isn't willing to actually spend the money to get that "Lego-like precision" and will instead just blame everyone else who works for him instead.
- Just imagine people working there to use different high-precision micrometers from a number of renowned companies and using the average of a number of measurements to get the precise values. Because that's how LEGO does it.
Ironic since LEGO fans have been complaining about tolerances, color accuracy and quality of designs for years...
- [cries in Lime Green]
  
  2008-ish Bionicle sets are rapidly disintigrating.
I saw a video the other day of a bunch of cyber trucks on a trailer going down the highway and all the flat panels were rippling in the wind. I'm sure Elon saw that and now he's rushing to fix it.
- Got a link to that video?
  
  It was some random video on Tik Tok. I'll see if I can find it.
  EDIT: I did find this picture.
In his Lego collection: Batmobile with doors that don’t close right. Bionicles with free spinning gears. And a dead bird.
- I don't know what I expected.
  
  "you didn't eat that, did you?"
They're spending so much time and putting so much effort into polishing a turd.
- I hope he keeps wasting money like this until he's bankrupt and irrelevant.
  
  The tragedy is that Tesla could probably be using these resources on useful innovations that would help electric vehicle adoption and reduce their environmental impact rather than making this Road Warrior reject.
- F35 vibes
Years from now “you built a Time Machine ….. out of a cyber truck????” Some future movie
- This monstrosity is not even close to how cool the delorean looked
Oh it’s quality that’s the problem, and not the fact that the truck looks absolutely fucking stupid? Got it. Musk being musk.
- They can both be a problem, but Musky thinks the truck looks neat. He just wishes the dumb piece of shit wasn't also built like a piece of shit.
  
  I personally think that the truck looks rly good. So i think that dome people might agree with me and wish that it wasn't built like garbage
Musk's next challenge, now that things are so fine and dandy with "X".
Well, implement a shitty looking, never before seen, piece of shit and here's what you get.
This guy is a fucking twat.
Lol
I mean I really want one, but lol
Maybe in 20 years when they're the delorean of tesla

There is no amount of lipstick that will make this pig look good.
This pig is about to become very expensive. Low cost and high precision are incompatible. I do not think that LEGO is cheap for what amounts to a few grams of plastic.
Electric cars have become more and more successful partly because the crappy futuristic designs are going away (but also cost and availability of used electric cars that are cheaper). Most people just wanted a car that has an electric motor. If every car that exists today were electric, the futuristic ones would not role the marketplace. Even the model s, 3, y and x are designed to look like normal cars. Companies used to just design cars they thought looked nice. For a time they had been designing electric looking cars on purpose. Designs that they clearly only made to look different. Most were ugly as sin . Just make an ordinary but nice looking electric truck ffs.
he should throw a rock at it
